I think the president's speech was refreshingly optimistic and a message about unity. And a message about taking care of America's needs first, getting people back to work with really good paying jobs. I look forward to working with him and his cabinet, as we attack these problems that face our country, and deal with our infrastructure, deal with jobs and deal with our nation's security.

The American people deserve answers. They deserve to know the details of Donald Trump’s plans and how he intends to pay for his programs. Above all, they deserve to know their access to quality, affordable health care is secure and that they have a fair and equal shot at prosperity.
